365 days of emerging, established and one of a kind artists

Day 78: Andres Gonzalez

Born and raised in Saltillo, a small city in northern Mexico, nestled in a valley between “La Sierra Madre” mountain range and the Sonoran Desert, currently based in Arizona.

Fascinated by the visual arts and the naturally minimalist scenery of the desert, I try to zone in on the small details that can be found around us and bring their inherent beauty out from the background to contemplate what otherwise would pass unnoticed.

By doing so, I can’t help but feel amazed at how nature, our original teacher of aesthetics, composes beautiful pictures. Even in and sometimes especially in, areas where there has been human manipulation, you can see nature’s characteristics bleeding through man’s creations.
